One
on One

Visiting
with a clay buddy, Linda Geer, I found out she had a problem with sore muscles.
So we agreed on a One On One swap. Some of my witchy oil for something made
by her. So I cobbled up the oil for her, but planned originally to put them
into some plain, undecorated, one ounce serum bottles. Hm. Sez I to Myself,
"This won't do." So what you see here is what I came up with. Using
Joanie's tutorial,
Build A Frog w/Polymer Clay,
I made the frog for the lid. Then I covered and bottle with some glow in the
dark clay and baked it. Using my own technique for preserving plants, I dipped
some grass seed into very diluted Transparent Liquid Sculpey (TLS), laid them
on the covered bottle and rebaked it. The grass toasted just a tiny bit giving
it a more delightful golden color.

In return,
she sent me some prizes!! The most fun was the "P'orns" (Polymer
clay Horns). She was up on ICQ when I opened my package and we ran on with
puns and sight gags for quite awhile about these P'orns!! The next gift was
one of her famous kaleidoscopes. Blow me away!! I adore her 'scopes! This
one is made with a mud mokume gane and it's beautiful. And also fun to play
with. Last, was a lovely small altoid tin covered with leaves made with Premo
Pearl Metallic skinner blends and soft felt on the bottom to prevent scratching
a dresser top. Much to my surprise when I opened it, was an exquisite pendant!
The cabochon is made with subtly marbled Premo Pearl Metallics and enhanced
with a yellow rose cane. Unknown to Linda, I have a special spot in my heart
for yellow roses. I will wear this one with joy.
